Can. Cloudy orangish amber with a good cm of white head. Fruity and a little herbal with passionfruit, under-ripe pineapple, light bread, vague citrus. Creamy light texture with fruit overtaken by resinous, earthy and herbal notes towards a fairly bitter and slightly astringent finish. Rollicking.

Can. Amber, modest white head. Quite sweet with lots of tropical fruit - pineapple, passionfruit, boiled lolly-like papaya - some citrus, pine, grass. Moderate bitterness. NS Hop Kief doesn't punch much like NS. OK.

Pours gold with a large fading head.
Nose shows heavy melon along with passion fruit, apricot, nectarine, grapes, mango and pineapple. Some pine and soft resinous hops behind as well as gentle clean malt.
Flavours include more stonefruit and mango before transitioning to a piny hit as well as some grapefruit. Finishes with an assertive bitterness to balance the clean malt.

Can. Almost clear gold, white head. Aroma of white grapes, grass, crackers. Yes, smooth pale malt then punchy fruit that's a little herbal in tone, snappy bitterness. Pretty good, very refreshing. Not totally unKölsch-like.

Can. Very dark brown, 2cm light tan head that doesn't last all that well. Lots of freshly roasted coffee in the aroma, some biscuit, citrus. I don't sweeten iced coffee (milk adds enough sweetness) and this is not too sweet for me. The coffee is less dominant in the taste and is punchy but quite fruity with citrus notes coming to the fore towards the moderately bitter end. Subtle and harmonious.

Can. Dramatic dark red with a good cm of beige head. A wafty top note of grapefruit drifts over the top of stewed fruit, dark sugars and bread. Less sweet than guessed with tropical and peppery notes joining the grapefruit at a pointed bitter end. As ever, the hoppy amber is hard to pull off but it's good when it works.

Can. Pale gold with an inch of white head that fades. Gentle hay, citrus peel and honeydew melon aroma. Dryish with snappy citrus- accented bitterness. Some tropical fruit and minerals. Refreshing.

Can. Black, a light tan head is very soon completely gone. 3- Inky and earthy mocha aroma with sweet cherries. Creamy in both texture and taste (but not so much you can taste the lactose). The cherries don't seem so plainly sweet and sit well with the mocha. Just enough bitterness for a finish. Fair enough.

Can. Clear red with a good cm of beige head. 3+ Biscuity aroma with caramel & ruby grapefruit. 7+ Some plum and floral notes as the hop aromatics evade the malty sweetness neatly. Finish is moderately bitter with hints of spices. Perhaps a little strong for what it offers, but tasty.
